Question 1

Does i9-13900 come with a CPU cooler in the box from Intel?

Accepted Answer

It does, but I really think you'd be better off purchasing a better cooler than the included one. This CPU is power hungry and runs quite hot.

I'm running a Noctua NH-U12A with mine, coupled with a Thermalright contact frame. It does pretty well, but I still have to limit CPU power to get temps under control (in my case, my motherboard by default wouldn't limit the 13900's power consumption until it reached 100 C--too hot--so I had to set limits myself in the bios).

Accepted Answer

The processor requires an LGA 1700 socket.

Question 3

Question 6

Question 7

Hello, will this work on a "MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI" motherboard and if not why?

Accepted Answer

The Intel Core i9-13900 processor uses the LGA 1700 socket type. The MSI MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI motherboard uses the LGA 1200 socket type, which means they are not compatible because the processor requires a different socket type than the motherboard supports.
